Well since this seems to be an all purpose Islam thread, The ADL has forgotten why it was formed, how stupid. I don't like Islam very much, and I refuse to accept that saying there are important differences between Islam and Christianity is bigotry, but the debate over this "mosque" is absolutely unbearable. For one thing, it's really a community center, it's not like they're adding a damn minaret to the NYC skyline. And secondly, it's not "on" Ground Zero, it's 2 frickin blocks away! There's no way you'll be able to see it at ground level. Maybe you'll be able to see it if the Freedom Tower or whatever crap they're planning ever gets built, but if they can build a mosque before we can lay the foundation, they deserve it!

if you own a sodastream i hate you

^There is some truth in the last statement though. After all, the terrorists WERE muslim and acted on their FAITH. They didn't just happen to be muslims who were also terrorists; the whole blowing up of the western world was a religious move, jihad, it was based on religious hatred. Building a mosque or something that resembles it so close to the actual epicenter of the killing is, at best, an unfortunate idea. I agree they should have the right to do it, but I also agree people have the right to oppose it.

What's next, a nacional socialist center for education in Jerusalem? Tongue

There's already a Mosque the same distance from the site. It's completely ridiculous and pure bigotry.

The only problem would be it would be a target for vandalism., so perhaps not the wisest place to build a mosque.

True. But people are not cold machines. Some of them will react. They will get penalized if they're caught, of course. But it could happen.

Ban the burqa in NYC, give it a few years we might have an islamic version of Sex in the City on the Network to replace Bollywood

Seriously putting a mosque up near Ground zero is nothing short of total stupidity and insensitivity.

Of course, I'm not denying any of that.

Exactly. I'm not saying it shouldn't be allowed. People should be free to do it. But it's stupid and they should be ready for any consequences.

In a way, it's provocation.

What about flying airplanes over NYC? Isn't that equally stupid and insensitive?

Or it's people building in an area which is probably prime real estate.

Come on, Shields. One thing can't be avoided, transports millions (of all faiths), unless you want to turn NY into hermit town. The other one CAN ve avoided, just by choosig a different spot.

Why do they need prime real estate for a community center I'm not sure. i guess plans for reselling the property are not what moves them.

The American government HAS to go through with the mosque. There's no way they can cancel this mosque and keep the integrity of what the country supposedly stands for intact.

Note that Sarah Palin wants to cancel the mosque.

That's true. They have to allow the place to be built. It's still a stupid (or cunning) move.
